We wrap up this week with songs exclusively with Friday in the title and almost exclusively about people's lives falling apart or coming together on Friday.

We're over the hump and on to Thirsty Thursday. Nay! We are on to Throwback Thursday! That's right, bringing back an early social media #classic as we celebrate some old music with today's playlist. How old? The newest songs on here would have just turned 30.
Let's throw it back!

We are back on a Wednesday to turn the volume back up after bringing it down yesterday. We are hitting the gym with some force, aggression and some equally angry music. It's time for some Crush Tunes!

What do world-class bodybuilders, powerlifters, strongmen, and strength coaches all have in common according to jealous little trolls on the internet?
They're all ego lifters! And nothing they do ever counts!
I have a solution for this problem: Take the collective sticks out of your asses and join us in some good old fashion ego-lifting fun!

Q: What are we doing today mum?
A: We're gonna tear the tits off some high-rep sets!
For a lot of casual gym goers, a high rep set might entail 15, 16, or maybe even 20 reps.
We're about to enter a different realm of reps, where we don't even start counting until the lungs burn and the muscles get tight. Welcome to hell!
